It was a lightly attended but exuberant First Tram this morning, as the Sun was coming up with some clouds in the distance. More great grooming efforts made the opening push fun, consistent, and fast. With this reworking of the hill, the variations were much more consistent and the rollers were smoother, making the line choice more wide open. Here is a shot of The Bingham Mine across the Valley in the rising Sun.
After 1PM, The Peruvian Gulch opened quietly. I was on hand for the opening and it was great to have relaxed pace. The off trail looked very punchy, as it had been sitting for a long time, so I opted to stick with the machine worked lines which were smooth, dry and chalky top to bottom. Think Young had been given a fresh till and was fat and full. Tomorrow, look for both sides of the hill to be open. There were reports of some soft pockets in the off trail areas, so go in expecting variable consistency. The machine worked lines will be good to go top to bottom. Straight Ahead!!!
